STRESS of local advertising has made 1t
necessary again this week to place a
couple of columns of local matter on the
editorial page. The invasion of the edi-
torial page will be gladly continued for
an indefinite time from the same cause
THERE is hardly a republican in the city
who does not pronounce the division
made by the legislature of this county
into assembly districts, piece of partl-
san penury. In the history of politics
there has never been anything more
petty or contemplate.

IHE interstate commerce law has thus
far struck the business men of this city
unfavorably. The spring stock of goods
was received before the law went into
effect so that the "long haul" clause has
not yet come into practical operation
here. With single exception, business
men state that so far as they have observ-
ed the freights have been advanced. The
nearer the point of shipment in another
state is to the state line, the greater the
ratio of advance The least charge for
merly for small package from Chicago
to Manitowoc was Doc The minimum
charge now is SOC. Each road now makes
its minimum charge, which is 25c.. and as
pooling is not allowed by the law the
rates are just double what they were
formerly. The advance on other freight
is about Sc. per one cwt. The result will
be that boats and express companies will
do all the carrying of small freights On
the whole the law been a disappointment
and thus far has worked solely in the in
terests of the railroad companies.

GRAIN STATISTICS.
Estimates Sent Out by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Pre- WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-The statistical
report of the department of agriculture
makes an increase of only half of l per
cent. in the condition of corn. : The past
month has been very generally favor
able, but the status of a large part of
the crop was fixed at the date of the pre-
viOus report. The general average of
condition is T2.9 instead of 1928. The
average of the seven surplus states is
$40 instead of 64.2 in September. This
is lower condition than has ever been
reported except in 1881, when the aver
age was nearly points lower and the
average yield 1876 bushels. The indica-
ton is now for yield of a small frac-
ton over 20 bushels per acre. The
der as not worth harvesting is not yet
determined. Slight uncertainties re-
garding it may cause variation in the
final record of 1 OF 2 per cent. from
100000 bushels. The test of
threshing has not materially en-
larged the average rate of the
wheat yield, which appears to be about
11.S bushels, OF 40 of a bushel less than
last year. The increase of acreage,
which is large in Dakota, will make par
tial compensation and bring the product
nearly or quite to 450.000,000 bushels.
The rate of yield in New York is 1877

Michigan, 1873; Indiana, 15.5; Illinois,

In the principal states of the central
valley region the state averages range

In the police court yesterday George

of Smith and Wheeler was caused by
George Guslin, who pointed them out to

day night as the men who had knocked
him down and attempted to rob him.
When they were arrested Smith and
Wheeler were just returning frem the

AWorthy Institution.

There are establishments in st. Paul
that are worthy of great praise, on
account of their usefulness to the COM
munity, even though they be private
property, and simply used to enrich the
owners. But in speaking of the Sk
Paul College of Shorthand, Typewriting
and Telegraphy, especial emphasis
should be laid On the word "use-
full" A reporter called at the
office yesterday, and was very
kindly received by Mrs. Anna G. Drew,
the principal and proprietress, who, III
answer to inquiries as to the prosperity
of the institution, said that it had
proved a success. The efforts of the
principal to provide competent Short
hand and typeWriters have been appreI
ciated by the business men. The sues
cess the college has met with has been
attained only by meeting the requires
mentS of the day-by studying the wants
of business houses and the adaptabili-
ties of students. In each department
there is the most perfect system posi-
BILE, and the best results are obtained in
a very short time thereby. Competent
instructors take great pains in making
each scholar understand their work
thoroughly, which many similar insti-
buttons fail to do; and it is safe to say
that any young man or young woman
who leaves the college to take posi-
ton of responsibility is equal to the
task. Many girls who have imagined
they could never become. proficient in
any branch have left the school fully
trained to accept positions where they
are now earning good salaries,

San Francisco Examiner.
Jennie Thomas is a beautiful girl of
nineteen years of age, and the daughter
of Capt. w. r. Thomas, of the Oakland
police. She has been, ever since she
was ten years of age, subject to what
looked precisely like epileptic fits, with
the notable difference that they never
came Oh but when she was asleep.
Within the last year and a half, how
ever, the disease has assumed new and
remarkable phase, resembling in some
respects catalepsy, but yet differing in
some essential symptoms from that ter
rible form of death in life"
When the fit SeiZeS her her form be-
comes rigid and perfectly incapable of
sensation, yet there is no further re-
Semblence between her appearance and
that of a person in q cata1eptic fit.
There is spasmodic twitching of the
eyelidS, which is now and then open
and show the pupil of the eye turned
upward or else dilated, without any
evidence whatever of speculation"
in it.
The breathing is plainly perceptible,
and at intervals stertOrOus and labOred.
Now and then the whole body is con-
vulsed, and the struggles and cOntor-
tons of the poor girl are very pitiful to
behold at such times.
When the CONFUSION passes, vivid
flush comes over her face and neck, by
and by giving place to the pallor which
is the result of her long illness.
Yesterday, when an Examiner re-
porter visited Capt. Thomas house, the
girl was awake from her trance, but her
father had only just made the remark
that she was so when she suddenly grew
rigid, and fell into the condition above
described.
Her hands, in which she had been
holding small book, remained in the
same position, and it required some

her coming to New York. Mrs. Robin
son arrived last Wednesday,. She was
hysterical nearly all the time until
Saturday evening when she became
quiet. Yesterday morning she attended
services at DR.. Houghton's church and
returning, removed her outer garments
and lay down. About $50 o'clock the
nurse gave Mrs. Robinson a glass of
milk and stepped to closet i'm the next
room to put away the glass and pitcher.
When she returned moment later Mrs.
Robinson was not in the room. The
nurse ran to the window and saw the
mangled form of the patient lying in
the area below.

Readers of the GLOBE will recognize
this name as that of famous cigar. 1t
is manufactured at the Columbia cigar
factory, and has probably larger sale
at the present time than any other
Scent cigar in the Northwest. The fact
that it is guaranteed to be made with
genuine Havana filler sets at rest all
questions as to its being worthy of a
great name. The fact, also, that such a
house as the P. I'll. Kelly Mercantile

to be overlooked. This company is the
sole agent for its sale here, and speaks
in unmistakable terms of its quality.

IN THE WOODS.
The Lumbermen Getting Ready
for the Winters Work.

for the Winters Work.
MIcHIGAMMIE, Mich, Oct. 1O.-In a
few weeks the lumbermen will be going
into the woods for another seasons
hard work. Some parties of men are
already preparing camps for the winter.
The wages paid this season will average
about the same as last winter-from S1S
to $50 month and board, according to
the working value of the men en-
ployed. Last winter there was a
scarcity Of men, but no trouble is appre-
hended this winter Oh that head. The
contractors who have been building and
are now completing the extensions of
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic,
Chicago d Northwestern and Milwau-
kee d Northern have brought about
5000 laborers into the pine district of
Northern Michigan, and as all railroad
work will soon be over for
the lumber woods for the bal
ance of the season. In fact, many of
them will have to do so or submit to
charity, as they are reckless and i'm
prOvident in the extreme as rule.
Fully 100000 feet of logs will be put
in this winter in excess of last winters
cut. The cut ON the Menomonee and it's
tributaries will be about the same as
last year, but number of new mills
have been built in Baraga county and
along the line of the South Shore rail
way east of Marquette. Nearly all the
lumber cut will be sawed in upper
peninsula mills, though few million
feet are floated to Bay City and East
Saginaw each spring and summer and
sawed in the mills there. Lumber oper-
ators are casting greedy eye on the
forfeited indemnity lands of the Mar
quette, Houghton & Ontonagon railroad,
now first thrown open to actual settlers.
There are nearly 100000 acres of land,
half of which is heavily timbered with
pine and hard wood and is very valu-
able. 1t lies principally in Baraga,
Hongaton. 0ntonagon and Gogebie
counties, Mich.
